about a week prior to the election, james t. blaine appeared at a republican rally and a pastor said the republican party was the party of rum, romance and rebellion. this galvanized the democratic party to come out against james t. blaine because blaine did not disassociate himself from those remarks. of course, they associated it with alcoholism. blaine lost that election and lost that state by 1,047 votes. >> gosh. >> had he decided to disassociate himself from those remarks history may have been a lot different. >> that's incredible. you think about it now when presidential candidates drink with people in bars so they can prove they're the every man. all do beer and a shot from time to time. >> even hillary clinton enjoys shots. >> there's nothing wrong with that. 1968 richard nixon facing hugh hubert humphrey. mitt romney didn't want to appear on "snl." he was worried about it not seeming presidential. let's show nixon's moment. >> sock it to me? >> we know happened as a result. >> that was five seconds that could have chan
